Cape lehenga designs have emerged as the new-age sangeet and mehendi outfits for brides who want to wear a modern lehenga design. As the name suggests, a cape lehenga usually comes with a cape-like jacket or a cape attached to the blouse. The introduction of the cape lehenga has added a modern twist to this classic ensemble, offering an elegant and contemporary alternative to the regular lehenga. While both styles share some similarities, they differ in terms of design, silhouette, and overall appeal. In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences between cape lehenga designs and regular lehengas, helping you decide which one suits your style and occasion best.
- Design and structure: When it comes to design and structure, a cape lehenga set features an additional element, i.e., the cape, which is either attached to the blouse or provided as an added element. The cape is often made from sheer fabrics such as tulle, chiffon or georgette and is embellished with stones and sequins.
- Aesthetic appeal: Cape lehenga designs offer a more contemporary look and feel, making them more suitable for sangeet and engagement. On the other hand, regular lehengas are more suitable for traditional settings, such as the actual wedding day.
- Versatility and styling: There is more scope for styling when it comes to the cape lehenga designs. To add a versatile twist, you can pick a short cape, a jacket cape or a long, flowy cape with your lehenga. With a regular lehenga, there are more traditional styling options to create with a dupatta.
- Occasions and trend factor: The cape lehenga is a more contemporary option, making it ideal for modern brides, fashion-forward women, or anyone attending upscale events where the goal is to stand out. A regular lehenga is suitable for traditional weddings, cultural festivals, and other formal occasions where classic Indian fashion is preferred.
